Great Li Martial God

"In the jianghu, people call this old man 'Skull-Tapping Bamboo Staff Elder.' My greatest pleasure in life is smashing people's skulls and sucking out their brain marrow, because it's truly extremely delicious."

The old man in raincoat spoke next, his gaze fixed on the heads of Sun Changyu and the driver, lightly tapping the water-logged street surface with the bamboo staff in his hand.

As if contemplating the force and feel of tapping on their heads shortly.

Next, there was a moment of silence in the rain curtain.

The old man in raincoat turned his peripheral vision toward the two figures in black on the rooftops of shops on both sides and said, "Are you two not planning to reveal your identities?"

Hearing this, one of the masked figures in black slowly shook his head, "No need. After we finish killing, you'll naturally know who made the move."

At these words, the old man in raincoat didn't mind. He looked toward the carriage ahead and said, "No rush to kill that prince. After we deal with these two castrated dogs and lackeys, we'll each rely on our own skills to take his head."

Hearing this, the two swordsmen in blue said, "Excellent."

The next moment, true qi boiled around their bodies. The long swords at their waists trembled and sang as they instantly unsheathed.

Transforming into two clear lights, they shot out like lightning, directly toward the driver and Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu. The old man in raincoat didn't slack either. His withered palm heavily struck the bamboo staff in front of him.

The bamboo staff immediately spun rapidly, stirring up the wind and rain around it, likewise flying rapidly toward Sun Changyu and the other.

At the same time, the seemingly hunched body of the old man in raincoat immediately surged with true qi, emitting scorching red light. Like a swift rabbit taking flight, he followed closely behind the bamboo staff without missing a step.

Where the bamboo staff went, the person went. Man-devouring killing intent followed like a shadow.

Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu said nothing. He casually grasped at midair.

The surrounding rainwater falling before him transformed into cold ice spikes under the shroud of Sunflower Yin true qi. The next moment, they shot like a volley of arrows toward the charging old man in raincoat.

The driver turned and ran to the back of the carriage. Gripping his blade with both hands, he suddenly slashed horizontally at the two incoming clear lights.

The blade edge exhaled several feet of sharp blade light. The entire sheet of rain curtain before the driver transformed into mist under this blazing blade light, permeating into a sky-piercing blade shadow that crossed the long street.

Clanging sounds louder than the thunder in the sky rang out in the rain. Sword light and blade light interwove in midair, then crashed and dissipated into nothing.

"Got some skill!"

"What domineering blade techniques."

The voices of the two swordsmen in blue drew from far to near. The two intercepted clear lights had somehow already fallen into their hands, transforming into two winding blue steel spirit snakes, directly taking the driver's ribs.

"The Tianjin Guards certainly have quite a few nameless experts, but the two of us working together can battle Heaven-Humans. Killing you is easy as pie."

The two swordsmen in blue said together with a laugh.

As their words drilled into the driver's ears, his expression immediately changed drastically.

The two figures were too fast, and the swords in their hands were even faster. So fast that by the time he reacted, he only had time to block horizontally with his blade before his entire person was blasted back by powerful sword qi.

Bang bang bang!

The driver's feet plowed a several-foot-deep furrow in the long street, while the surrounding several zhang of bluestone street surface all exploded and flew apart.

Briefly stirring up a sheet of lime dust in the rain, which was soon extinguished by the torrential rain.

Crack!

The driver lowered his head. The long blade in his hand suddenly split open, then scattered into several pieces that fell to the ground.

At his waist were two sword marks. Bright red blood flowed down with the rainwater, staining the puddle beneath him red.

At the same time, after the old man in raincoat used his bamboo staff to stir up and shatter the cold ice spikes that Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu had launched.

His figure flashed out. With one palm condensing Sunflower Yin true qi, he blasted out another "Sunflower Yin Mysterious Palm."

In an instant, the midair was frozen by cold qi. The accumulated water on the ground congealed into a layer of dark black mysterious ice.

Seeing this, the old man in raincoat showed no fear. The bamboo staff in his hand was like red-hot branding iron, wreathed with crimson light and steaming with heat. The staff tip directly collided with the Sunflower Yin Mysterious Palm.

The next moment, terrifying true qi aftershocks scattered in all directions, blasting the two high walls and shops around them until they collapsed, transforming into ruins.

However, Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu was clearly slightly inferior. He was blasted back by the old man in raincoat's staff strike. Only when he retreated to the front of the carriage did he barely stop.

"How is it?"

The bluestone beneath his feet shattered to powder as Sun Changyu dissipated the force on his body. His expression ugly, he asked the driver behind him.

The driver lowered his head without speaking. He suddenly tore off the robes that had been sliced by sword qi and simply wrapped the wound at his waist. He said calmly, "Can't beat them. We'll probably die here. In a moment I'll try my best to hold them off. Eunuch Sun, take the person and find a chance to escape."

Hearing this, Sun Changyu's eyes darkened. He subconsciously glanced at the carriage behind him.

At this moment, Li Musheng happened to lift the carriage curtain to look over and shook his head, "You two aren't doing well either."

Saying this, he pointed at the old man in raincoat slowly walking over in the distance, "That old man's martial Dao cultivation is stronger than yours and restrains your true qi. How can you fight?"

Then he glanced at the driver and raised his eyebrows, "You're even worse off. Two against one, using numbers to bully the few, and you have absolutely no chance."

Hearing this, Sun Changyu took a deep breath. His soft voice said, "Young Master Li should possess considerable martial arts. Why don't you think about how to escape from these people's hands?"

At this moment, the driver didn't speak. He just gripped the hilt of his blade that was broken to only a small half remaining and spoke out, "Eunuch Sun and I have worked together for many years. After I die, please deliver my severance pay to my daughter's hands, Eunuch Sun. I don't trust the other people in the Tianjin Guards."

"Also, while you can, escape!"

Having said this, the driver gripped the blade hilt and suddenly charged toward the two swordsmen in blue who were watching with smiles.

His figure shot out a afterimage from his original position and disappeared. In the torrential rain curtain, he left only a vacuum-shaped human outline.

"Que Blade Slash!"

The driver shouted deeply. The half blade hilt gripped in both hands slashed vertically downward toward the two swordsmen ahead across empty space.

Hum!

In an instant, the entire heaven and earth trembled. The raindrops falling from the sky suddenly froze, jumping incessantly in midair.

Whether rain sounds, the sound of water flowing in hidden channels, or the muffled thunder in the sky, all sounds receded in an instant at this moment.

On the empty, broken long street where the carriage stood, a golden blade shadow over ten zhang long quietly rose.

That golden blade shadow was domineering and sharp, brilliant and dazzling, as if all the light between heaven and earth was absorbed by it.

The blade light sliced until the void twisted and collapsed. The next moment, it instantly crashed down toward the street ahead.

This slash was fast to the extreme. From the golden blade shadow's appearance to the blade shadow falling and disappearing like a sky-supporting pillar, no one could see even half its trajectory clearly.

But the next moment, the section of long street ahead instantly collapsed under this slash, transforming into a narrow, deep pit full of stone debris and mud.

...

The driver stared blankly at all of this before him, eyes wide, murmuring, "This... was truly a blade I unleashed?"
